About EMLA Cream
For injections without tears ask your pharmacist about EMLA Cream
Infants and children need a series of immunisations to protect them against serious infectious diseases.
But this means having injections, which can be painful.
The good news is that for children aged one or more, you can use EMLA anaesthetic cream to numb
their skin before an injection.
EMLA cream is available from your pharmacist without a prescription.
Simply apply EMLA Cream to your child's skin at the site of injection about an hour before
the immunisation is due and cover with a dressing recommended by the pharmacist. EMLA Cream takes effect
within one hour and pain relief lasts up to 5 hours.
EMLA cream costs only £1.73 for a 5g tube - that's less than 70p per application.

Forum: | Sleepless nights | HELP!!!
Our 14 month old son has, for the last 3 weeks, woke during the night crying. Since then we are only getting about 2 hours sleep a night and we are absolutely exhausted.(his cot is our room and previous to this he was a great sleeper.) The only thing that settles him is letting him sleep with us . I know this can be dangerous and we dont actually get any sleep as we are so scared that we will suffocate him. On a health vistors advice, we tried controlled crying which was very difficult and upsetting for us all. Even after 3-4 hours of crying he still wouldnt settle and it would wake our other 2 older children. Having spoken to a different H.V since, they have suggested that we wont solve the matter unless our son is sleeping in another room away from us. we only have a 3 bedroom house so he will have to share a room with his 12 year old brother. Does anyone have any views if this may work?
